Saw a blue moon
Saw a blue moon on the drive home. Course, it was blue because of the tinted part of the windshield I caught it through. Blue as the cover of a philosophy reader. Blue as the thought of "What are we to do?" Forty-eight things to do in this world: 1. Open a book store; 2. Eat a lobster in Maine; 3. Coin a phrase ("kiss a brick"); 4. Kiss the tomb of Oscar Wilde; 5. Listen to the cat pee in her litter box; 6. Clean the litter box; 7. Let one perception lead you to another; 8. Stay out of the way of oncoming traffic; 9. Drink a glass of water; 10. Clear your throat; 11. Drink more water; 12. Make yourself a midnight snack—sharp cheddar & pepperoni maybe; 13. Order Chinese; 14. Sing a song in your head and don't tell anyone; 15. Inhabit your lover anyhow; 16. Quote somebody famous ("Future references lead us nowhere," Elio Schneeman); 17. Realize the cat took a shit, too, and god it stinks; 18. Use "transubstantiation" in conversation; 19. Piss; 20. Make a "Piss Christ" print and display it over your toilet; 21. Create a controversial work of art using only the letter S; 22. Save your money in a pillow case in the closet; 23. Spend time with kids, teach them something; 24. Fuck in the cemetery; 25. Swat flies; 26. Lose yourself in a movie; 27. Hold a book to your chest; 28. Cop a feel, or better, feel a cop; 29. Consider what your last words could be; 30. Make a clock, keep it forever; 31. Challenge a stranger to a foot race at the mall; 32. Buy all your clothes from thrift stores; 33. Eat meat with your hands if you're going to eat it at all; 34. Think of forty-eight things to do and write them down; 35. Bet the house on the Cowboys to cover the spread; 36. Improvise a song while standing in the checkout line: sing it to the cashier with feeling; 37. Don't forget the war; 38. Stay up all night; 39. Wake up before sunrise; 40. Talk in your sleep; 41. Talk with the dead; 42. Feel your way through your place with the lights off; 43. Look for the lunar eclipse; 44.
